Game Competition #15: Frogger
shardian:
One time I was playing frogger, and for no good reason the game started me out half a space off. It guaranteed I would lose that life. It was really weird. I agree it is a buggy game.

Mm, in cases like that, I just grab the newer version and put on that rom in there. Delete after, probly.
Yeah, Gaplus. Maybe next time.

I saw the half space Frog tonight. I made it through traffic just to have it commit suicide in the logs in what otherwise should have been a good move. I'll hit F12 if I see it again.

I had a good one at Funspot, which I wish I'd gotten a photo of. When I started the game, it had flipped the screen upside down and left-to-right. So up was down, down was up, but left and right were correct. Managed to make it thru the first level and died on the 2nd. When the game ended, it went back normal. It may have been due to a static shock though, as alot of games were having issues due to that (at one point, their Donkey Kong 2 was upside down, but still playing). Most of them, if anything happend, would either just lock up or reset from a static shock.

Ugh, after a few games, I couldn't crack 16k last night. But, I was improving gradually...probably too gradually to catch the good score already posted... :'(
I found that almost all of my deaths were due to impatience. I "fell" off the edge of the screen on a log only once. Time ran out just once. Rushing around cars was my main mode of suicide. Interestingly, when I played this as a kid, I was often vexed by the patterns & painted into a corner & trapped & overwhelmed. I guess my brain can process patterns a lot better now...but I was rushing too much, trying to get the bigger bonuses to beat you guys...
I saw a different bug almost every game. The pink lady frog wouldn't be out. I'd be on the first set of logs, where she likes to hang out, and then *poof!* she'd appear on top of my frog & make the mating noise, but she'd be red instead of pink. I guess she's sometimes invisible & when you catch her in her invisible state, shes red on top of you instead of pink on top of you. Kooky.
I'll try a bit more, but I've got a ways to go...
